The world had changed but humans still needed to eat and the able-bodied were rebuilding from the ruins and hunting for food. Tal and Boreal were no exceptions.

After assuring himself of his frenemy’s survival and checking in with Ru, he’d gone to take care of his sisters and repair their home and store.
